Hopefully the authors wouldn't care. You could find them in the archives at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=amanda-users&r=1&w=2 Please be aware of the fact that the mentioned howtos refer to the use of chg-multi which is considered "old-school" due to the facts mentioned in the current HOWTO-FILE-DRIVER. The chg-disk changer-script is the more logical way and even easier to set up. You wrote > if you want to use a large disk to mimic several tapes >From the HOWTO: The script chg-multi handles many drives with a tape in each drive. The script chg-disk handles a library with one drive and multiple tapes. You can find the HOWTO in the current AMANDA-tarball in the docs-subdir, or online, for example at http://www.oops.co.at/HOWTO-FILE-DRIVER.htm -- best regards, Stefan Stefan G.
